| Flandrau State Park Hike and New Ulm Octoberfest We “wandered” 40 minutes into the wilderness…well not really, but the Hiking Club Trails were not easy to find, nor well marked for our Octoberfest hiking outing. However, 16 ULLRs were good sports, and braved the dreary skies to hike around Flandrau State Park for nearly 3 miles. We took a picture near the man-made sand-bottomed swimming pool, drained for the winter, the lifeguard chair was a perfect spot for a picture. We ventured into New Ulm for “Beer ‘N Brats.” No polka bands, but music, food, and libations! We didn’t even mind the drizzle, as we munched our food. Karen Clarke and I stopped in the Chamber of Commerce to find out a little about “Hermann the German", the ancient hero whose army liberated Germany from the Roman rule in 9 A.D. The Order of Hermann’s Sons commissioned a statue to be built in New Ulm. A fun day! |
